Contrary to popular belief, it's not the grand romantic gestures that win women over. It's the small, considerate acts that show you're paying extra attention that make them view you as their knight in shining armor. Translation: There are things you could be doing right now that will make your woman swoon — without you even having to say a word.

Before we even begin, let’s talk about your look. What you wear and how well (or not) groomed you are is just as important as any act you perform. Using the BIC® Flex 5™ razor and its five flexible blades can get you the closest shave possible so that you can look like a true gentleman that knows that chivalry isn't dead.

Here are the top 10 most chivalrous things a guy can do — as told by the ladies who say it works on them every time.

Putting Your Phone On Silent When You're With Her

It’s a reflection of the time we live in that one of the most romantic things you can do when you’re with another person is to put your phone on silent or turn it off completely. Show her that you’re interested in hanging out with her — not her plus your buddy who keeps texting you.

Guide Her With Your Hand On Her Back

Without a word, you can simply guide her through a door, a crowd, onto or off of public transportation, or into her chair (as you pull it out for her). This is a very gentlemanly thing to do. It costs you nothing and scores big points. It’s also a way of touching her politely that demonstrates you’re willing to protect her.

Buy Her Food

The common saying “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” is accurate, if not very inclusive. The way to a woman’s heart is also through her stomach. Women might be a bit pickier about what exactly we want to eat (make it high quality and healthy-ish, if you can), but, as with gifts, it’s the thought that counts. There is nothing quite as romantic or chivalrous as a man wordlessly handing us a crusty-bread, sautéed veggie sandwich after a long day at the office.

Stand On The Outside When Walking On The Street

This is a little-known but very often-appreciated act of being a gentleman, especially on city streets and in the rain, when mud and puddles are often splashing everywhere from passing traffic. If there's going to be water kicked up by a car, you should be prepared to take the hit, not her.

Changing The Background Of His Phone To A Photo Of Them Together

Though women might not be quick to admit it (and okay, not all women are the same, obviously!) — they tend to be the oversharers on social media. While they might be posting #NewRelationship images and updating their status to make things official, they’re also anxious to see what you’ll do in return. It’s not that they don’t trust your feelings, it’s that sometimes, they want to show off their new Bae, and want you to do the same. A simple step you can take to show her you’re committed and happy to be in this new relationship is doing something somewhat public, but still private: Like updating the background of your phone to a photo of her or of the two of you. The next time you’re together, she’ll notice it and more than likely, lean over and kiss you for the sweet gesture.

Grabbing Something That's Too High For Us To Reach

This is particularly chivalrous to us short girls who have to literally scale our kitchen counters in order to get what we need. Having a guy reach something for us that's way up on the highest shelf of our cabinets will make us swoon every time. Bonus points if a guy does it without having to be asked. It makes us feel like you've got our backs even when it comes to the small things — like needing our favorite wine glass from the top shelf.

Surprise Her By Picking Her Up From Work At The End Of A Tough Week

For those of us who rely on public transit to commute to and from work, we cannot say enough about the romantic gesture that is getting picked up on a Friday. Every Wednesday, we develop a strong hatred of our desk, our chair, and our computers. By Thursday, we would give up a third of our paycheck to stay home and watchdaytime TVall day. So, if a man really wants to show us he cares, he will roll up to the office at 5:45 P.M. on a Friday, just to drive us home.

Bring Flowers To A First Date

This is completely old school, and will win big points for a low price. She’s been on dates before, but if you really want to make an impression, bring her a little gift that shows you’re the guy who stands out, sets himself apart, and will treat her this way down the line. If you like this, then hone it by staying away from clichés like a single rose or supermarket flowers. If you’re doing a single flower, opt for a sunflower and if you have to use the supermarket, take off the price tag and the plastic. Big spender? Use a florist. In fact, start a relationship with your florist. It’ll help your love life.

Helping Her Into Her Coat

This is a classic move from the old school Hollywood movies of the ‘60s, where women wore gigantic furs that they had to be helped into by their male counterparts. Helping us put our coat on makes us feel like one of those super glamorous movie stars — even if we're only wearing a cheap jean jacket. It's such a small, meaningful gesture that shows you're paying extra attention.

Remembering How She Takes Her Coffee

Something interesting happens to your brain when you start to develop a crush on someone new: Your mind genuinely can’t stop thinking about them. From what she wore on your third date to how it felt when you first kissed her, your body responds to those happy endorphins by memorizing, well, everything. Use your mind’s natural reaction to your advantage: Start taking notes on characteristics and preferences that are super-specific to her. Something as simple as remembering how she takes her coffee can show just how much you care about her — especially if you have it waiting for her before she heads off to an early-morning meeting. She’ll be impressed by how you don’t just remember the big things, but the little things, that make her special and make your relationship solid.
